    Hi Chirag,

     

    The DATEDIFF DAX function should help with what you're trying to achieve.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks for your response Alex! I wasn't sure how DATEDIFF could fix this but I did create two measures - one for date and month each and used slicer to change the view between these two measures. This does help me achieve the view I wanted.

     

    Thanks Again!
